Hello Matthias, hello *,
recently, I was struggled updating the NRPE package in IPFire. Since I learned a lot while doing so, and several packages are outdated (some of them seem to be security relevant), I thought to update some more.
Reading the development list, it seems like this is more or less what you are doing - so it seems to be a good thing to coordinate here if you don't mind.
Personally, I would like to go through every package in IPFire 2.x and check whether it can be removed or needs to be updated.
What do you think of this?
Best regards, Peter Müller
P.S.: Updating bash to 4.4 did not work here (there were a bunch of poorly documented patches for 4.3 which won't apply, and some other manholes I fell in) - in case anybody has experience with updating bash, please drop me a line.
